"Mr President, I would like to draw your attention to the problem of removing children from their families. It is a problem or, rather, a dangerous and inhumane practice. I know of an example of a Polish family in the Netherlands where two children were taken from their families, based on unverified and unconfirmed suspicions of violence. After a dramatic legal fight which took place over many months, the parents got their children back, but the traumatic experience of children being separated from their parents will never be erased from the children’s memories. I will present the detailed circumstances of the case in a separate letter, with a request for it to be examined by the competent authorities in the Netherlands. I fully advocate the protection of children from violence, but believe that should apply to any kind of violence, whether domestic violence in families or violence suffered as a result of the actions carried out by official authorities, since unwarranted removal of a child from his or her family and parents is one of the gravest forms of violence."@en1
